i know that manual says that it's not recommended, but what do you guys think? it's only 60 miles, i was planning lift the back wheels using a u haul tow dolly.

60 miles? If it runs/drives, why not just buy a friend dinner and have them follow you in your other car whilst you drive the Boxster. Or pull a few plugs and call AAA for a tow (they'll go up to 100mi IIRC).

Good luck

The Boxster can not be towed that distance. I think you are going to need to push it.

If it's stick yes you could, but the nose sticks out more than most cars and I am not sure it will clear the tow dolly. I would have it flat bedded.

thanks for the advise guys, I'm going to rent the auto transport instead. That way I'll have all 4 wheels off the ground, stay on the safe side.

According to AAA, they cannot use a dolly to tow the Boxster. They only use the flatbed for it.
